Yung Greek yogurt parfait ng Starbucks hongggsaraaap!!!
For P140, its a good buy na. If you'll buy flavored greek yogurt at the grocery like Fage and Chobani, for the same amount these imported brands would cost about P200, and it doesn't even have a granola topping.
I've tried the one with blueberry compote. Addicting. I've had it for 3 days in a row And friends say the one with mango is good din daw.
Gujab Starbucks.Gujab.

Weekend treats c/o Starbucks Got to try their new drink , before they're on the menu , and at buy 1 take 1 -- promo is for today only, and on 4 branches only , so I'm lucky I'm near their Festival Mall branch.
The drink is Sparkling Iced Coffee Lemonade. P140, grande size. Another flavor that they will be offering soon is Sparking Iced Matcha Lemonade.
Now, is it good?? I didn't like it as much. But perhaps others would like it. Imagine a soda + iced americano , thats it! They used the Kenya coffee beans for this drink.
Then I just had to try their new dessert --- Mascarpone Blueberry Cheesecake (P165). This. This. OMG saraaaap! It doesn't have the tartness like in other cheesecake, but it's creamy and rich because of the mascarpone. Diet Fail na naman Lol.

Pro Tip:
For the whole month of May, they have a promo every Wed : Special Fan Flavors of Grande sized Frap for only P100. --- 3pm-6pm.
May 3 - Caramel Frap
May 10- Butterscotch
May 17- Double Berry Shortcake
May 24- Hazelnut Truffle
May 31- Coffee Crumble
You're welcome heehee Disclaimer: I don't work for SB, I'm just a true blooded istambay nila Nyahaha!

Yesterday was the release of the limited Holiday Card with Metal Wrap - i went to Starbucks Festival Mall during my break time and got my card in no time. I asked how many was alloted to their branch and how many was left. As of 9:34am yesterday. They had 12 remaining out of 50 pieces. The nice SB partner even told me that customers coming from QC and Makati trooped to the South because the cards in Makati were sold out as early as 6am! I had no idea that this tiny piece of card would cause such a ruckus - some even complaining in their FB page of racketeering.

In the Muntinlupa - Festival Mall branch is just one of two branches with this card. The other branch is Alabang Town Center. Got my free anniversary cookies too with other purchases.

Heyyyyy if you got a Starbucks planner, promo for March is free double upsize on brewed coffee. So I paid for a short and got a grande. YAASSS! So I guess I'll be buzzed for the rest of the day hehe!
At dahil mahilig sa free, hindi na muna ko nag order ng iced americano and iced green tea latte (my go-to drinks) . Three mushroom n cheese roll still wins btw .

When work is getting stressful, we tend to find ways to just relax or think. Another way would be to make chika with friends and just forget about the whole day which we did. I need to go home at 9pm so we had a quick tea date. I was not in the mood for a frappe so I decided for a hot drink instead. I ordered the English Breakfast Tea Latte. It was surprisingly delicious.

I was still full so I did not order any food to go with my Tea Latte but that is okay, I was quite happy with my Tea. So far, I've been liking the English Breakfast Tea among the flavours available. The Earl Grey tea for me tastes too flowery, I don't know why. So for now, I'm sticking with my English Breakfast Tea.

There were still a lot of people even if it is nearing closing time. All sorts of people, young and old tend to flock this branch and just go about their usual night. As always, the baristas were nice and accommodating which is a standard na for all Starbucks.

Random Question: May FREE WIFI ba sa mga Starbucks stores? I never asked so I wouldn't know but long time I ago, I vaguely remember that they do have WIFI. Anyone knows? ️ Anyway, the question popped in my mind because during our stay, I saw a lot of people bringing their laptops and studying.

So after lunch break, I was craving for something sweet so my colleagues and I headed to Starbucks. I have seen the Belgian Chocolate Chip Cake in Looloo reviews and in person. I thought that it is high time for me to try it! So I did. I also ordered their Dark Chocolate Macadamia Cookie (warmed) promising my colleagues that I will share the desserts and the calories.

Line was a bit long but manageable. Orders were taken promptly and served quickly. Now, for the judgment. Let me start with the latter, I have ordered the Dark Chocolate Macadamia Cookie several times already and it never fails. It is moist, sweet and nutty. I love that the chocolate oozes and it is just so sinfully good. I think I could eat five of this in one sitting.

Now for the Belgian Chocolate Chip Cake, it was also good. I wasn't expecting that much after all it is just cake but I was surprised that it was actually a decent cake. Too much for me, good thing I have my colleagues to share the portion. What I loved the most is the chocolate chips wedged in between the layers.

Sharing a happily ever after story ...
Visit 1. Availed my free drink from my Starbucks card : Venti Green Tea Soy Latte . Was in a hurry, so I had the chance to try the drink when I was in my car already. It was too sweet. Too. Sweet. Grudgingly threw it away Visit 2. As I finished paying for my regular order of coffee + sandwich at this branch, I mentioned to the barista (Abby) at the counter my unfortunate experience during my last visit. She seemed very concerned, got the details and promised me she'll look into it.
Visit 3. I'm back to get my usual caffeine fix. At the counter, they recognized me rightaway. ( I'm a regular at this branch). Lo and behold, they presented me with a free drink pass, any drink, any size. And apologized too for the unsatisfactory drink I got before. The barista (Abby) was not even there, but she made sure that the free drink pass will get to me the soonest time I'll visit.
I'm giving them a perfect rating because of the consistent awesome customer service. Most especially from this branch, Festival Mall. As soon as they see me at the counter, they'll greet me by my name and they already know what drink I'll get. That's why I know their names too - shoutout to Abby, Iwi, Jhoe, Mark,and Kyle P.S. The 3 mushroom and cheese sandwich is super yummy. Perfect on days you're abstaining from meat

I am still on an Iced English Breakfast Tea phase Thanks to Peanut D. So this is my second Iced English Breakfast Tea and I was a bit disappointed. I said unsweetened but they added syrup That's why when I was asking for honey, there was a hullabaloo if they will give me or not. I said to the barista that I ordered unsweetened then he finally gave me two honey packs.

I went out, took my first sip and realised it has syrup. I should have gone back and have my drink replaced but it was too late. It was past my break and I don't want to make a fuss about it anymore.

Although, if this happens to you, don't copy me. Go back and ask nicely for your drink to be replaced. They will surely do it!

The barista who took my order was nice and she understood that it was unsweetened. Somewhere in between the cashier and the one who gave my drink may naglagay ng syrup. I guess, the usual kasi linalagyan talaga ng syrup yun.

I take away green tea latte as much as I can. I hope they implement these instead :
1. Smoking bay
2. Overstaying not allowed
3. NO FEET UP PLEASE!!!
I mean coffee equals italy or France right? I don't get it why they have to put their feet up, worse is remove their shoes. POR FAVOR!!! I'm not reviewing SB here any longer but the very distasteful culture brewing here among customers. I've seen this in seoul too so not only here in Ph.

Just a shout out to this Starbucks branch (Nikki,Jane,Allan,Rina)for great customer service. I love it that as soon as they see me at the counter, they remember already my usual order and would even look for my tumbler ( I bring my own) and ask for the "milk/creamer" (protein powder) that I would ask them to mix to my drink.
I remember during the Christmas season, I sampled their Christmas drink. While I was finishing up my food and drink, the barista asked if I liked it. When I replied that I find it too sweet, she (Jane) immediately made me another cup and adjusted the sweetness level. And I appreciate that gesture very much. Hope the peeps at Starbucks Festival Mall will keep up the good work

Finally, FINALLY I got to try their chocolate crepe cake and it is even more yummy than I expected! Totally worth the P120 splurge (I was only planning to buy coffee). Anyway, it turns out I like the iced Toffee Nut latte better than the Frappuccino version and I can't believe I only tried it now.

For those collecting stickers for the planner, just thought you'd want to know that they've extended the promo until Jan 23 instead of Jan 8. :)
